A fire destroyed the landmark “Incógnita” nightclub in Rua Coração de Jesus, Tambaú, on Wednesday evening (21) at about 20h30.

When firefighters arrived at the scene, neighbours had already gained access to the club and were fighting the fire with extinguishers.

The club’s owner, Humberto de Tarço Costa, told the firemen that the fire started when an employee forgot about something that was on the cooker. Investigators are looking further into the cause of the fire.

There were no injuries because the club was empty. The case is also being investigated by the 10ª Delegacia Distrital.
